Bond University

Bond University is Australia's first private, not-for-profit University, offering a personalised academic environment that enables graduates to exceed the outer limits of their potential – in their career and in life.

Created in the scholarly traditions of pre-eminent private universities of world standing, Bond University challenges students to be leaders and thinkers; taking them beyond the accepted definition of a university education to develop initiative, enterprise, ambition and a lifelong commitment to making a meaningful contribution to their field.

Bond offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Law, Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, Health Sciences and Medicine, Architecture, Sustainable Development and Information Technology. All students have access to unparalleled academic and technological resources on Bond's world-class Gold Coast campus.

Bond's personalised approach to education combined with its uncompromising focus on industry relevance sets Bond University apart from every other Australian university.

Students thrive in smaller study groups where eminent professors and industry-experienced lecturers know them by name.

Students have open access to industry leaders, corporate high-flyers and notable achievers who actively participate in Bond's guest speaker programs. Students are given the opportunity to study overseas through established partnerships with some of the world's leading universities and research facilities.

By undertaking three-semesters-per-year students complete their degree studies twelve months or more before their colleagues from other universities, thereby gaining a vital advantage in the ultra-competitive careers market.

This advantage is further driven by graduates themselves. Many within Bond's close-knit global network of alumni now hold upper echelon management and partnership positions in blue-chip organisations around the world and maintain that their Bond experience was a key factor in fast-tracking their careers.

The 2012 Good Universities Guide rates Bond University the maximum five stars across a range of key performance indicators including:
